Time to make apricot before the season is over.
Today I went to store, the apricot sold for $1.50 per pound comparing to the peek season of $0.50 per pound. But today's ones were mature and firm, perfect for making jam.

Ingredients:
2 pounds of jam,
1/2 pound of sugar,
a pinch of salt.

Cooking:
Heat pot,
open apricot with hand, take out seed, put into pot,
add salt, sugar,
cook in slow fire for 3 hours or until the water evaporated enough.

Tip:
Keep stirring from time to time. It avoids burnt bottom and accelerate the evaporation.
